Problem
When i tried to run Docker container via maven command, I got an error something like below:

Solution
The error message tells us that the user executing the process don't have privileges to access the Docker Engine daemon. The fix to this is to add the user to the `docker` group.
What is the recipe for that fix? Run the command below in the terminal of the machine executing the docker command.

sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER

Subsequent to it, don't forget to log-out and login or simply reboot, for the changes to take effect.

Kubernetes (aka K8s) is an open source system (from Google) for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts; providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications.

Minikube is a tool that makes it easy to run Kubernetes locally on your laptop/desktop. Minikube runs a single-node K8s cluster inside a VM on your laptop for users looking to try out K8s or develop with it day-to-day.
